Question 1

Can I use Clarity as a Beam portfolio tracker?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Clarity works as a comprehensive Beam portfolio tracker that monitors all your connected accounts with detailed cost basis calculations, real-time performance metrics, and complete net worth context in one unified dashboard that updates automatically every day. You can monitor your Beam position alongside every other asset you own — stocks, bonds, crypto, cash, and real estate — without switching between multiple apps or maintaining manual spreadsheets for reconciliation. Clarity syncs your Beam data automatically through secure daily connections so your portfolio information is always current and accurate, giving you the confidence to make informed investment decisions based on reliable, up-to-date Beam position data that reflects your entire financial picture across all accounts and platforms.

Question 2

How does Beam tracking in Clarity compare to other crypto trackers?

Accepted Answer

Unlike single-purpose crypto trackers that only show one asset class in isolation, Clarity shows Beam alongside all your other assets — bank accounts, brokerage positions, exchange balances, and wallet holdings — so you see the complete financial picture rather than just one isolated slice of your portfolio. Clarity also provides automatic cost basis calculations using FIFO methodology, comprehensive tax reporting preparation with wash sale detection, and historical performance benchmarking against major market indexes that most standalone crypto trackers do not include in their feature set. This comprehensive, unified approach means you can evaluate how Beam contributes to your overall net worth and long-term investment strategy without juggling multiple platforms or manually combining data.

Question 3

Is my Beam data secure in Clarity?

Accepted Answer

Clarity uses read-only connections through providers like Plaid and direct API integrations, so Clarity does not move funds or execute trades on your behalf. Sensitive integration credentials are encrypted before persistent storage, data is protected in transit with TLS, and the broader database layer uses provider-managed encryption at rest. For Plaid-linked institutions, Clarity does not receive your bank login credentials. For direct exchange or AI-provider connections that you choose to add, Clarity may store encrypted API tokens so the connection can keep working. We do not sell your Beam data to third parties.

Question 4

Does Clarity calculate Beam cost basis for tax reporting?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Clarity calculates your Beam cost basis using FIFO methodology and maintains detailed tax lot records for every single transaction across all your connected exchanges and wallets. The system automatically detects wash sales within the thirty-day window, properly accounts for transfers between your own wallets without triggering false taxable events, and organizes your complete Beam activity into the specific categories needed for Form 8949 and Schedule D reporting. This automation saves you hours of manual reconciliation each tax season and reduces the risk of reporting errors that could trigger audit attention from the IRS.

Question 5

Can I track Beam across multiple wallets and exchanges in Clarity?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Clarity connects to all major centralized exchanges through direct API integration and monitors on-chain wallet balances across multiple chains, aggregating all your Beam holdings into a single consolidated view regardless of where you store them. Whether you hold Beam on Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, MetaMask, Ledger hardware wallets, or any other supported platform, every balance and transaction appears in one unified dashboard with consistent cost basis tracking across all sources. This aggregation eliminates the need to manually reconcile Beam positions across multiple platforms and gives you a true picture of your total crypto exposure.

Question 6
